  • Title: Diabetic neuropathy, A review of clinical manifestations.
    Author: Lawrence AM, Abraira C.
    Journal: Ann Clin Lab Sci; 1976; 6(1):78-83. PubMed ID: 1247287.
    Abstract:
    Diabetic neuropathy in some form or other afflicts a majority of patients with diabetes mellitus. Neuropathic disturbance of sensory, motor or autonomic nerves may occur singly or in combination. Cranial nerve and other mononeuropathies generally resolve spontaneously. Autonomic neuropathy which can result in orthostatic hypotension, gastroparesis diabeticorum, nocturnal diarrhea, atonic bladder and impotence, although chronic, may wax and wane in clinical severity. Neuritis, disesthesias and painful sensory neuritis may resolve with good diabetic control; on occasion, diphenylhydantoin has been of therapeutic benefit.
